The Locals "Everything Must Go" directed by Samantha Westerling
Music video from Chicago, alt pop indie rock band The Locals. "Everything Must Go" (SALT 2011). The video is stop motion with illustrations drawn entirely on a giant, old school chalk board. Shot in Chicago,this new video from The Locals is directed by Samantha Westerling with story by Jen Larson.(Jen and Samantha are two thirds of the band "Swimsuit Addition"). Illustrated, by Jack Haynes, using only run of the mill chalk on a blackboard, the video is so much fun to watch.
The story shows the main character "Marty", in an ominous position as his home begins to crack apart all around him, he is presented with a box of matches from a mischievous shadowy character. Best part: when one of the matches lights itself by doing a massive Pete Townsend like windmill swing, striking it's own head on the ground. Fans of The Pixies, Yeah Yeah Yeahs & Tegan and Sara and The Whigs dig The Locals
